“It Takes a Village” has swept across our country as we dedicated October as Breast Cancer Awareness month. It was evidenced on Sunday when 19,500 Midwestern of all ages, sizes, and shapes converged at the Omaha Civic Auditorium to “race for the Cure”. A big thanks to I Love Sewing, LLC Sew Pink Team. We had a great time. Many of us carried our Take a Make cell phone bags using the Fight Like a Girl fabric from Windham. The 5K walk (about 3 miles) headed north from the Civic by the Creighton soccer field and into a beautiful neighborhood. High school cheer teams encouraged us as we walked. Besides the satisfaction of completing the walk, we were rewarded with donuts, cookies, popcorn, cereal, yogurt, and lots of congratulations from the bystanders and the participants. This was definitely a crowd to “people watch”. The common theme amongst all was JOY….whether in honoring a survivor or remembering a family member or friend who succumbed to Brest cancer. Top off the Joy with Love and Determination and this fight will eventually be won!
